Shawn,
I do NOT mean to sound glib but, time is not something that you FIND. It is something that you MAKE. I
t is all about priorities. If you get to college and work your class schedule to where you can sleep until 10:30, have classes from 11:30 - 5:00, supper and study until 10:30, and then party all night, you will most likely not have time to fly. But, if you work your schedule right, you can have plenty of time to fly. In fact, if you get involved in flying, you will most likely eliminate much partying because you have to fly the next day.
Personally, I always tried to arrange to have EARLY classes and be done by 3:00 so I could work in the evening at a bar or restuarant. I did get my flight time in during class hours because it was my major and I did admittedly get my share of "recreation" in on nights when I didnn't have to fly the next day.
You can have it all if you are willing to work your schedule right. Personally, I had a little rule for my self that helped me allot. I made myself a rule that I would be out of bed by 9:00 every morning. Of course there were occasional exceptions to the rule. However, normally it didn't matter if I stayed out partying until 5:00 AM, I still had to be up at 9:00. It was my own little "You play... you pay" rule. I usually had my day to day chores such as laundry done by the time my friends pried their mattresses of their backs. I always figured I could sleep when I am dead. I will say however that I did always try to be well rested for flights.
So, go out there and make it happen. It is just waiting for those with the self discipline to go after it!
Be well and fly safe.
